Know before you buy
The Jerkstopper uses an adhesive backing to mount securely near your device's RJ45 port. This creates a fixed anchor point that absorbs tension before it reaches the delicate network connection.
The Jerkstopper is compatible with any standard Ethernet cable that has a diameter between 3.5 mm and 8.5 mm. It is designed to accommodate most common Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cables.
While the device itself is reusable, the adhesive backing is designed for a single application. If you need to move it, you will likely need to apply a new piece of double-sided adhesive tape to ensure a secure hold.
No, the Jerkstopper does not plug into the port. It mounts to the surface of your device or wall plate adjacent to the port to provide strain relief for the cable, leaving the port itself free for your Ethernet plug.
Yes, they are specifically intended for data center and professional office environments where protecting equipment from accidental cable pulls is a priority. The durable plastic construction is built to withstand the rigors of daily use.
